The Flames are probably gonna come out swinging for the first few shifts as they always do after a loss. But this team is going to be defined by their response after the first goal of the game is scored (regardless if it's them or us).

The team's character is on the line here. 4 straight "wake-up calls" will be humiliating. Just don't let up

If Backlund is truly injured, I'm not sure why we don't move him down to the third line and bring Lindholm up. Any line with Tkachuk will get looks offensively and if Backlund's shooting is impaired, then what's the point
